The Department of Chemistry participates with the Departments of
Biological Sciences and Earth Science in offering a major in Environmental Science with concentrations in Aquatic Ecology,
Terrestrial Ecology, Earth Science and Environmental Chemistry. Courses required of students majoring in each of the
concentrations include:

Although the required chemistry, mathematics and physics courses of
this concentration are identical to those required by the minimum major in chemistry, the student is technically an
environmental science major rather than a chemistry major. Upon registering as an environmental science major, you will
be assigned an advisor associated with the Environmental Science Program. Nevertheless, the Chemistry Majors’
Advisor as well as other members of the faculty of the Department of Chemistry are willing and able to answer most
questions you might have about scheduling of courses and are more than willing to do so.

You may augment any one of the basic, four-year, chemistry major
curriculum patterns with BIO201, BIO202, BIO303, CRJ440, ESC211 and GEL101 to plan a program leading to a major in
Environmental Science with a Concentration in Chemistry. You should note that it is exceedingly important to schedule
your required calculus and college physics courses early in your curriculum plan since these courses are prerequisites
of physical chemistry.
